Authors:

Abstract

The geographical distribution of the Polish tremellaceous fungi is discussed in this paper. The list of localities and the maps of the distribution of 60 Polish species (45 of Tremellales, 13 of Auriculariales and 2 of Septobasidiales) are given. The author distinguishes several geographical elements, and describes the vertical distribution of these fungi. This paper is a supplement to "Fungi (Mycota)", vol. 8, Polish Flora (Wojewoda 1977).

... The number of fungi species known from the Park area increased by 32 that were previously unreported, and currently it amounts to 508 taxa. New localities were recorded for more than 35% out of 476 previously observed fungi species (Czubiński & Urbański, 1951;Dominik, 1957;Friedrich, 2011;Lisiewska, 1966;Ławrynowicz, 1983Ronikier, 2005;Skirgiełło, 1970;Stasińska & Sotek, 2016;Stier, 1939;Ulbrich, 1932;Wojewoda, 2002;Wojewoda et al., 2002). ...
... Moreover, few parasitic fungi (nine species; 4.4%), of which Phellinus pini was the most frequent (it grew on old pines), do not pose a threat to it. The significant species diversity of mycobiota of the WNP shown in the current and previous studies (Czubiński & Urbański, 1951;Dominik, 1957;Friedrich, 2011;Lisiewska, 1966;Ławrynowicz, 1983Ronikier, 2005;Skirgiełło, 1970;Stasińska & Sotek, 2016;Stier, 1939;Ulbrich, 1932;Wojewoda, 2002;Wojewoda et al., 2002), confirms the very high natural value of this area. The number of macrofungi (508 species) found in the WNP is almost 1/5 higher than the number of species recorded in two other national parks in Pomerania, the Słowiński National Park (429) (Bujakiewicz & Lisiewska, 1983) and the Drawa National Park (379) (Stefaniak, 2013, as cited in Karasiński et al., 2015). ...

The paper contains results of mycological examinations conducted in the Wolin National Park from May to October 2017, and data previously unpublished. Exploration was carried out using the route method in the whole Park, with particular emphasis on its western part. The paper includes 205 taxa (25 from Ascomycota and 180 from Basidiomycota), including 32 new ones for the Wolin National Park. Among the identified taxa, 17 were threatened. The endangered species (Category E) were represented by Aleurodiscus disciformis , Calcipostia guttulata , and Geastrum triplex , the vulnerable species (V) included Inocybe grammata , Inocutis rheades , and Xylobolus frustulatus , and the rare species (R) consisted of 10 taxa, including Helvella lacunosa , Gloeoporus taxicola , Mycena crocata , Plicaturopsis crispa , and Pseudomerulius aureus . Some species are known only from a few sites in Poland, e.g., Hohenbuehelia auriscalpium and C. guttulata . Currently, the number of macromycetes species known from the Wolin National Park is 508.
... For this reason it has been considered by various authors either as a separate species (e.g. Bernicchia 2005, Bourdot & Galzin 1928, Donk 1974, Kotlaba et al. 2010, Kout & Vlasák 2011, Piątek 2001, Ryvarden & Gilbertson 1993, Ryvarden & Melo 2014, Vampola 1994, Wojewoda 2002, 2003 or as a variety of D. confragosa, i.e. D. confragosa (Bull.: Fr.)

em>Psathyrella ammophila is a psammophilous fungus most frequently inhabiting seashore beaches, sand dunes and sandy inland areas. Although it is a widely spread species, in some countries it is rare or threatened, including Poland, where it is classified as “endangered” (E). In Poland, P. ammophila has been found in 26 localities, including 14 new reports after 1970. We present two new Polish localities from white sand dunes at the western shore of the Baltic Sea (Wolin Island). Moreover, ecological information and macroscopic and microscopic features of the basidiocarp based on collected samples are presented. The problem of the disappearance of dunes as a primary habitat of P. ammophila is also discussed.

Investigations carried out in recent years have provided new data on the localities of some rare hypogeous fungi in Central Europe. In this study, we present new localities of Leucangium carthusianum , Melanogaster luteus , and Rhizopogon melanogastroides , two of which are new for Poland. Sporocarps of L. carthusianum were found in seven new localities in mixed and coniferous forests in the Western Carpathians as well as in Sudetes. In Poland, the species was also recorded in a mixed forest in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. Fir, Abies alba , accompanied the fungus in almost all known localities. Three localities of M. luteus were found in the Polish Western and Eastern Carpathians in Alnus incana communities mostly associated with streams. Knowledge of the distribution of this species in Europe is incomplete due to the complicated taxonomic history; nevertheless, it is regarded as rare, despite its wide distribution. One new locality of R. melanogastroides recorded in the Tatra Mts, Western Carpathians, is the fourth known to date. This species is mostly associated with Pinus mugo in high mountain localities (the Alps, the Tatra Mts). In this study, detailed descriptions and illustrations of the macro- and micromorphological features of the species are provided.
... A cartogram map showing the distribution of H. flagellum in Poland was generated based on all available published and unpublished data according to the ATPOL (Atlas of Poland) grid square system (Wojewoda, 2000). To illustrate changes in the distribution of this species, we presented the localities in two different periods: in the years 1962e2002 (black points) and after 2002 (red points). ...

Hericium flagellum is a highly host-dependent wood-inhabiting fungus in Europe. Its occurrence is strongly connected to the distribution of silver fir (Abies alba). We analysed available data describing ecological factors, especially habitat, substrate preferences and phenology, which are regarded as drivers of H. flagellum occurrence. We also implemented ecological niche modelling to determine the potential range of the fungus. More than half of H. flagellum records (57%) were found in high conservation value areas, on fallen trunks of silver fir trees. The basidiomata were predominantly recorded between August and late November. Distribution of the tree host, precipitation in the driest month, isothermality and annual mean temperature were the most decisive factors influencing H. flagellum occurrence. We conclude that the disjunctive range at present, the risk of tree host extinction linked to habitat loss, and the limited dispersal of H. flagellum propagules are the main threats to this species.
... The collected specimens of H. flagellum were deposited in the Herbarium of the Department of Botany and Nature Conservation, University of Szczecin (SZUB). The occurrence of H. flagellum in Wielkopolska Voivodship is shown on the cartographic map ( Fig. 1) according to the ATPOL grid square system as used by Wojewoda [37]. ...

em>Hericium flagellum (Scop.) Pers. is considered a rare, wood-decaying fungus that occurs on coniferous trees, predominantly on silver fir ( Abies alba ). In this paper, a new locality of H. flagellum in Wielkopolska Voivodship is presented, along with the macro- and micromorphological features of the collected specimens. Basidiomata of H. flagellum were found in November 2016 and 2017 in the “Olbina” nature reserve (ATPOL Dc-97, Kalisz Forest District), located in a continental mixed coniferous forest close to the northern border of the natural range of silver fir. In 2016, H. flagellum was found growing in the hollow of an old stump of silver fir, and in the following year, this fungus was recorded on a fallen log of silver fir. The implications for conservation are briefly presented. Prospects of further development of the basidiomata of H. flagellum in the “Olbina” reserve are also discussed.

Inonotus hispidus mushroom is a traditional medicinal fungus with anti-cancer, antioxidation, and immunomodulatory activities, and it is used in folk medicine as a treatment for indigestion, cancer, diabetes, and gastric illnesses. Although I. hispidus is recognized as a rare edible medicinal macrofungi, its genomic sequence and biosynthesis potential of secondary metabolites have not been investigated. In this study, using Illumina NovaSeq combined with the PacBio platform, we sequenced and de novo assembled the whole genome of NPCB_001, a wild I. hispidus isolate from the Aksu area of Xinjiang Province, China. Comparative genomic and phylogenomic analyses reveal interspecific differences and evolutionary traits in the genus Inonotus. Bioinformatics analysis identified candidate genes associated with mating type, polysaccharide synthesis, carbohydrate-active enzymes, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Additionally, molecular networks of metabolites exhibit differences in chemical composition and content between fruiting bodies and mycelium, as well as association clusters of related compounds. The deciphering of the genome of I. hispidus will deepen the understanding of the biosynthesis of bioactive components, open the path for future biosynthesis research, and promote the application of Inonotus in the fields of drug research and functional food manufacturing.

This paper presents 18 species of fungi that are new to the Kampinos National Park and their buffer zone. Seventeen of these species were found during studies on wind-damaged areas after the forest was damaged in 2017. One species new to Poland has been described and illustrated ( Odonticium septocystidiatum ). A few of the species recorded ( Ciliolarina cfr. laricina , Daldinia petriniae , Pseudovalsa umbonata , Spongipellis litschaueri ) are very rare in Poland and hitherto mentioned from single localities in the country. Two species from the Polish red list of macrofungi were recorded in the Kampinos National Park for the first time – namely, Punctularia strigosozonata (E) and Trichaptum biforme (R). The current number of macromycete taxa known from Kampinos National Park has reached a total of 1,630.

The Wielkopolski National Park is located in western Poland, near Poznań City. Its unique postglacial landforms are covered with various (semi)natural and anthropogenic ecosystems. The mycobiota of this Park has been studied for 90 years; however, current state knowledge is still insufficient. In 2018, a few-year- long project on the chorology, richness, and diversity of fungal biota of this area was started. In the first year, 312 taxa of macromycetes were found. Among them, 140 taxa were new for the biota of the Wielkopolski National Park. Five species ( Botryobasidium robustius , Hebeloma subtortum , Leccinum brunneogriseolum , Pachyella violaceonigra , and Sistotrema athelioides ) were new for Poland, and 26 taxa were new for the Wielkopolska region.
